Honeymoon ruined

Ugh...and this is why I don't think I'll ever understand anyone that into sports (even my dad who is a crazy college football fan). Are you going out of the country so you won't have cell service? A suggestion in the "Honeymoon advice" thread was to put phones on airplane mode and I think that's a great idea. Then every hour or two maybe he can just check the score...but make it known to him that you want time together. It wouldn't be okay being on a trip that is supposed to be about the big commitment you just made and having him ignoring you to watch a sport that in the end has literally no impact on his life (unless he's like the owner of the team or something).

Ugh that timing sucks. When exactly is your honeymoon? The first game is on 10/27, and there are a couple of days where there are no games at all (10/29, 11/2). All of the games will be starting at 8 pm. So you will have the whole day to spend together, and maybe you can ask him to just check in on the games periodically in the evening instead of watching the entire thing. ETA: just noticed you're getting married today. Woohoo! Congrats!!!

Eh. It's just one game a night. I'd ask him to concentrate all on you for the rest of the day, and compromise - like maybe every other game he watches, the other you go out. Then on the night he watches, you take that time to have some "me" time.

I'm married to a college football sports freak, but he's open to compromise.

First of all, big bah to the Jays losing last night -_- lol

When we went on our honeymoon, DH followed the Blue Jays and the Jets, we always had wifi in the places we stayed. It wasn't too bad, because like Erica said, it was a few hours and the rest of the day we had fun and went out

Don't start your marriage off with an argument over baseball I know you want his full attention but you can have it 90% of the time and then let him enjoy his game! This is your first test in compromise while fully married, take the time to have some "you time" read a book if that's what you like or find a nice bar and watch it together I know it's not what you would prefer neither would I but the World Series are once a year let him enjoy it

The resort we went to had a sports bar so of course we spent Sunday afternoon there for football. I hate football but it was only a few hours and we spent every other single moment together so it wasn't that big of a deal.

I love the sign that I've seen that says something to the effect of "This marriage is on hold during baseball (insert any sport) season". In my case, it would be me following the games. I'm sure you can come up with a compromise. Isn't that what marriage is about anyway?

Boooo KC would have gladly had the Jays win to save your honeymoon haha

I have no advice, but I totally understand. FH is a huge NY Rangers fan and the playoffs will be happening around the time of our wedding/honeymoon.

Eh, not sure what the big deal is. Watch some baseball with your man, have some drinks, and then you pick the next activity.

So glad DH doesn't like sports for this reason. The honeymoon is sacrosanct in my mind and shouldn't be interrupted by baseball. It's not exactly the best way to set the evening mood... Have him DVR it or whatever, and then turn off all social communication, don't check FB or news sites, etc.... then he can enjoy the games when you all get home and not on your HM!

LOL, I thought you were going to say your honeymoon was in Puerto Vallerta like ours is....we leave next week..and sooo nervous about it!! Patricia needs to LEAVE NOW!!

So happy my FH is really only into rugby which isn't super popular over here!

This kind of happened to me on out mini moon this past week, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

My husband (still getting used to calling him that!) is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. They played Monday night football, and he insisted that we watch the game. At first, I was really irritated that the Eagles had to be a part of our trip. It worked out that there was a Philadelphia bar in Ft. Lauderdale literally across the street from our hotel. Everyone had on Eagles gear, there were free green Jell-O shots every touchdown, and he was having a ball, which made me happy.

Plus, he struck up a conversation with the owner (not knowing he was the owner), and we got a free round of drinks because we were on our honeymoon.

It will all work out. If he insists on watching and you really don't want to, maybe do something alone he might not want to do like shop or get a manicure.

My advice? Marry a man who'd rather have sex than watch sports-- they do exist!

I am sorry for you.

Jai, my husband is a die hard Eagles fan as well. I know the struggle.

I remember for my senior prom, about 10 couples got a party bus that had tv on board and the basketball playoffs were on. The guys actually turned off the music and told us to be quiet so they could watch the game. I just don't understand it.

How long are the games? They surely can't be that long. Just watch the games with him and have a few drinks.

I have to confess that with our honeymoon quite a few evenings revolved around finding a pub where I could watch the Rugby World Cup. He took it as a chance to get to know something I was passionate about, and now actually really enjoys watching rugby games with me. If the games are in the evening then you'll still have plenty of time to do other things during the day.

Have him download the ESPN app. He can get live updates of the game and just check in about every 30 minutes. Really, the first couple games don't matter. Haha. Just be honest and communicate with him about your needs!
